Not Your Average Jane

Ask me a stupid question, get a smart ass answer.... THATS the kinda week Ive had... hehehehe... First off my mom asks me when I had Papa John's the other day what I planned to do with the pizza... I told her... Eat it what else? She frowned at me and walked off...
Seany today when i called him at lunch... I told him the trail riders were at the Park... And he asks what makes you think that? My reply? Cuz I dont think the joggers wear cowboy hats and the bikers dont ride horses... Least not last time I checked... He poked fun of me and then invited me to the Firehouse next weekend.... Huh???? Turns out Kyle Hunt Band is there... And he digs them... Wha?!?!?! He digs a band I've heard of but am not real familar with.... Wow. Its the night after Peter at the Sidecar so we'll see... I dont know if I can hang 2 nights in a row anymore.... Last weekend was prolly the exception...
So yeah work sucked today even though I barely saw Dora the explorer.... Customers were rude, and inconsiderate for the most part... Disrespectful in general and mostly spoke foreign languages.... Its irratating not knowing if people are talking about you or not....
not sure what I'm doin 2night.... Moms goin out with Aunt Diane and them.... I got her bday present but I still need a card and something to put it in... I went ahead and just got her the bath gel she wanted cuz I couldnt think of anything else..... anyway im off to do whatever I'm gonna do.... hehehe.... Laters....

Well this was gonna be a why is it the guys I want dont want me and the guys I dont want do want me post... But I realized that there are some exceptions to that I find.... So yeah, that takes away all my rambles.... dammit.
So random thought: I'd like songs written about me... But I have had one written about me and its not that great... So why do I still want it? I dont know.... Maybe its knowing that you're near and dear enough to someone's heart that they want to tell the world what you mean to them? I'm a romantic, what can I say? I'd love to be able to say yeah... thats about me.... and not regret the whole damn relationship.... and yes before you even ask I AM talking about the ex.... Musicians bad, hmmkay? But oh soooo good.... :)
Not alot to talk about tonight... I didnt do much other than get most of the mud off my shoes and car from last weekend... Not completely from my car since it looked like rain (and surprise suprise it rained 2night... go fig...)... But my shoes are ALMOST clean... I dont even want to think about my jeans and how THOSE are gonna get clean.... ugh...
I still need to get mom a present for her bday this weekend... I might have to wait and just do it after work one day... or before... eh, sometime around work... as long as I have it wrapped and with a card by sunday night.... its all good. :)
all righty then... I think I'm off to bed... noon to 915 I work 2morrow (er today.... ) so if you want me call the cell... if you dont have the number call someone who does like elise did last weekend.... hehehehe.... beer at walmart on special anyone? :) so yeah if you want me (sexually or otherwise... ;) ) you'll have to wait...

So I think my mom is an old Mexican man trapped in the body of 52 year old woman.... hahahaha.... I have NO idea how it happened but she wound up talking about A and I (now a and m kingsville) and the fact their mascot is the Javelina... Suddenly she busts out with that loud ass rolling r aye yah yah (sounds like A - rehah)thing.... Good God... I didnt know she could do that... And she did it loudly.... Shocked the hell outta me....
In other news Dora wasn't at work today and my throat hurts.... Other than the sore knee (I fell outside the Icehouse Saturday), the sore throat and the tiredness it was a damn good day....
And tommorrow promises to be good too... I'm finally unpacking all my shit and cleaning my car and my clothes to try to get all the mud out.... (for those on GW NOT Alex.... hehehehe...) I also need to go to the Galleria and get mom a bday present since its on Sunday and tomorrow is my only day off till then....
BBQ cook off's this weekend... Don't know if I can go since i'm working most of the weekend.... That sucks.... That means the parades in like 2 weeks ( I think...) and rodeo kicks off pretty damn quick.... Thank God.... I miss rodeo time in Houston.... That reminds me I still need to find Girl Scout cookies... Found a phone # to call so we'll see.... Also I need to call Nancie to check in....
thats about it for now...
laters.

Ok the OFFICIAL review of the weekend... Good gravy....
Lets start at the beginning....
Friday... I get to NB about 430 or 5... Go to Walmart and pick up a couple of 12 packs... Go to the Red Roof and meet elise... Change and go pick up Craig at the cabins... Go to Austin... Get lost... Drop Craig off, get lost again... Get to El Arroyo meet Melissa and her sorority... Chad and crew make an appearance and then we all head over for Antones for Reckless... Micky and the Motorcars opened and they rocked... I'm in lust with yet more Braun brothersness... One of em was using a realllllly old school kapo (or is it capo? I still havent figured that out...), it was actaully wooden.... Saw the ex's identical twin (not really but it was scary the similarity between them...) and almost freaked... Got back to the Red Roof and tried to figure out what was goin on.... We wound up goin out to the cabins till like 5 am... That was fun to say the least.... Meet alot of GW peeps... Fell in lust.... ALOT.... Got back to the hotel at like 5 in the morning, pretty much passed out till like 11... Got up, called in, heard Dora bitch and moan... Showered and dressed, went to Whataburger and LSM and went back to the cabins.... Hung out, meet a bunch more people, dealt with the mud and went down to the Icehouse about 4 or 5... The whole Songwriter Swap thing was cool... I heard a bunch of guys I'd never heard, bought some new CDs, and had a shit load of fun.... Never did find Ryan Turner to sign up on his mailing list... He was cute too... Fell outside... Got some free stuff.... fell in lust a few times.... Stoney went on and rocked and then Duhjango came on...(hehehe) There was a rumor that Cory Morrow made an appearance.... I wound up leaving the icehouse and goin back to the cabins... Brian Burke wound up coming over and jamming for a few.... At one point i was sitting on a cooler and he was like 3 feet away taking requests... Me and like 3 other people were there and we're all requesting like Poison, GnR and stuff and he's like I only know like Texas music... So I requested Steel Heart and then he played it and made me sing along even though I only know the chorus... It was really awesome... I know my guys will play whatever I want, they just don't know Texas music.... Stoney showed up too and played for a while... At one point that night I met Jen and we called Kevin... I dont know if he ever called back... But it was funny... Of course there was drama but I won't go into that cuz drama's bad....
And then like half an hour before I left, elise calls and tells me someone that works for Peter is gonna crash with us and I'm like ok, whatever... When I got back I discovered it was Chris.... I was proud of me... I didnt take advantage of him.
So we all wake up at like 11 this morning and get ready and leave about 1230 or so... I finally got home at like 330 and napped till almost 9.... I was that tired.... I'm off tomorrow but I'm taking Lauren to work at 9... I'm waaay too nice... Least she gets her car back tomorrow... So its all good... Laters.

Home again, home again jiggety jog... I like seriously almost JUST walked in the door... Said hi to mom, caught up with her (all 5 minutes worth of news...) and now here I am about to take a nap.... Thats right a nap.... Something I haven't done in a very VERY long time... And without company this time.... :(
So for now all I'll say is that GF rocked... In fact surpassed my expectations.... The people were great (even though there was drama...Wouldnt be GF of Galley without drama, I swear...), the music was great (Stoney was there how could it NOT be?!!?!?) and I was pretty good all weekend long (didnt drink much... and didnt take advantage of a situation that occured last night.... AND I didnt fall back into an old habit thats very tempting... Thats pretty damn good...) I'm impressed with myself... A full and complete review will be available upon my return from dreamland.... laters....

lets see.... quick week summary.... Worked Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.... Saw Reckless Kelly twice Wednesday.... Interviewed with Nancie Kraft (finally) on Tuesday... I'm getting ready to leave to go to New Braunfels for the weekend.... I'm calling in sick.... Actaully I'm gonna say I have a sprained ankle and I have to elevate it for 48-72 hours.... :) I'm so evil.... Talked to mom about goin down to part time... She freaked... But I think I may do it... Theres only like a 40 dollar difference in pay...And I really don't know how much longer I can work there.... Aside from the fact I hate it, I'm also on my 8th tardy and if I'm late again, I'm fired..... So yeah... I'm off to finish packing... laters.

Why am I fighting so hard to keep a job I can't stand???? Does anyone know?!?!?!? I sure as hell don't. The hours suck. The pay sucks. So why?!?!?!?

So yeah, guess who DIDNT go to the Firehouse? Yeah, that'd be me.... Oh well.... There'll be other times... I sorta laid down and said I was gonna close my eyes for a few at 830 and next thing I know its almost midnight... Yeah I didnt feel like getting dressed up and going out at that point... I'll live... I dont know if I'll go see Django tommorow...er later today.... hahaha....
Well Friday was my first full day back at work since I got sick.... Still got a lil tired easily but I made it. Had a nice long break and got to talk to the guys in ladies shoes... Turns out that weirdo, Alan got fired... Also fired this week were Mary and Bessie... All were told their sales were too low... I had my 3 month review... Yeah that went well.... or something... Let's just say my frequent breaks have been noticed and my sales suck... Whoo fucking hoo.... Dora had the balls to ask me if I really wanted the job... Of course I lied through my teeth and said yes.
So I have the weekend off... Mom's in Florida till Wednesday.... Not really sure what I want to do.... Shes so rarely outta town its like I have to take advantage of it when she does.... But theres no real trouble I could stir up... Sean's got Laurie whose in town this weekend... Nate's in Cali with Ra.... Jules and has his girl, why did I just blank on her name? Nat's busy with school and her military wives stuff.... And Brody.... Yeah theres a nice loooooooong story there I wont go into.... So yeah all my rowdy friends have settled down... And sad to say I think I have too....
thats about it for now.... laters....

i hate not feeling in control of my body.... its like its rebelling against me and its not cool at all.... Whatever this is I have it SUCKS!!!! I had to leave work early (i wasnt even there 2 hours....) I came home, went to bed, woke up at 3 and went to the doctor....... Found out my blood pressure is back to normal levels and I gained 3 pounds in the last week... How I'm not sure... I mean usually NOT eating you dont gain weight.... Right? I guess not.... Besides it was late evening and I usually weigh in early morning which prolly had something to do with it.... (I learned in WeightWatchers the time of day could affect your weight)He gave me a couple of prescriptions to try (he did ask if I was preggers I told him there was no chance of that and I had proof I wasnt last week... - that combined with this ickyness, really great.... *eyes rolling* )and see if they worked and a dr's note for today AND 2morrow.... And I'm using it dammit. 2night I feel like a did Saturday... tight in the chest, queasy, lightheaded and tired.... its no bueno.... Hopefully I can work Friday, and go see Bleu Friday night and then I'm off for the weekend... Good thing I didnt need to work for the money.... yeah 8 bucks an hour really floats my boat, thats why I'm goin to see Nancy next Tuesday at the temp agency....
oh and the ex invaded my last private space... whoo hoo.... Not like I can declare everyplace an ex free zone... That would be a lil too much... As much as I'd like to try.... hehehe.... I also heard through the grapevine he got back together with 'the girl'.... None of my bidness what he does and theyve been more on and off than he and i ever were.... Honestly I feel bad for her and I hope he doesnt lie and cheat on her like he did me.
So yeah, much luck to her reforming him.... Prolly wont work, but good luck... You'll need it.
I just saw the preview for the Boogeyman by accident.... holy shit.... that is a scary movie.... Nother one I'm NOT seeing.... No matter how hot the guy who asks.... Not even Brad Pitt. Sorry. No.
k thats it for now.... laters.

i've been sick and I've been at work.... not much else to say.... so instead i'll just send this lyrics out to b2....

Let Me Go - 3 Doors Down

One more kiss could be the best thing
But one more lie could be the worst
And all these thoughts are never resting
And you're not something I deserve
In my head there's only you now
This world falls on meIn this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me

[Chorus]You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Let me go

I dream ahead to what I hope for
And I turn my back on loving you
How can this love be a good thing
When I know what I'm goin through
In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me

[Chorus]You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
You love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Just Let me go...
Let me go
And no matter how hard I try
I can't escape these things inside
I know I knowww..
When all the pieces fall apart
You will be the only one who knows
Who knows

[Chorus]You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know Who I am
So let me go
Just let me go
And you love me but you don't
You love me but you don't
You love me but you don't know who I am
And you love me but you don't
You love me but you don't
You love me but you don't know me.....

Well, I feel better than I did yesterday... Least I'm eating almost normally and I feel overall like I'm at about 60 percent... Mainly I'm just congested and I'm losing my voice... And I tire really easily... Which is why I'm home and NOT at Honeybrowne like I planned to be.... :(
I went to Cactus and got some movies, went to the grocery store and got home and all I wanted to do was go to bed... And I slept till like 11 this morning... And napped on and off all afternoon... Talked to Nat for a bit and then Sean... Took another nap, and a shower.... Then I went to Cactus and Krogers... Came home and just wanted another nap.... Had chicken soup for dinner and watched Mulan 2 and Vanity Fair with mom, who also feels like hell and stayed in 2night.... I just got a call from Lala....couldnt hear a thing she said, so I texted her.... Turns out shes at Honeybrowne and was tryin to get me there too... I text her back and told her i knew about HB but I was sick.... Yeah if this is contagious I dont want to get anyone else sick (but yet I'll go to Cactus and Krogers - where I ogled cute boys - wheres the logic there? Simple, I was getting cabin fever... I had to go somewhere or go crazy... And those are the 2 easiest to get to and from.... Least for me....). Also I dont imagine the combo of smoke, yelling/screaming/singing along, and alcohol will help whatever it is I have.... Alcohol.... Maybe... The rest? Nah, not so much... :)
I'm so happy I'm off 2morrow... Mom, the girls and I may go out to lunch or something.... We're not sure what or where yet but it should be interesting to say the least... anyway I think I'm gonna go lay down again... laters....

god I dont feel good.... I'm all icky and yucky and nasty.... I woke up with a scratchy sore throat, then as I'm getting ready to go to work, the hacking cough starts.... I get to work and the queasy tummy kicks in... Lovely... And I got to stay like that all day.... I still do, but I feel better feeling bad at home than at work... I had the worlds worst time making myself stay at work and not takin another tardy.... Only thing that kept me sane was knowing i have 2morrow and Saturday off and an interview with Nancy Kraft on Monday... I'm having the worst time making myself go to work, staying at work and coming back from lunch or breaks while I'm there.... In fact most of my lunchs and breaks turn into long drawn out affairs.... Usually twice as long as they should be in the case of some of my breaks 4 times as long... (we get 15 minutes, but I've taken 45 minute to an hour long breaks....)
So yeah pretty much I feel bad, work sucks and I'm tired.... I was gonna try to go to HB 2morrow at the Firehouse but it depends on if I kick this whatever it is or not.... So yeah I'm gonna go watch a movie and close my eyes... This headache started at the end of the day... Lucky me... Laters.
